The Brief
Whilst Macpactor’s business was booming offline, they’ve always struggled to make an impact digitally – especially in search engines.
Therefore, Mac & Hat were contracted to perform SEO work on the website to make them more competitive in the organic search results with a strong focus on the broader search terms which represented their core products.
Examples of these include “compactor wheels” and “landfill compactor wheels”.
Plan of Action
After performing the usual competitor analysis and keyword research to benchmark Macpactor, it was clear from initial glances at the website that some major changes needed to be made from a Technical perspective first and foremost to make the website more friendly to Search Engines.
Therefore, Mac & Hat conducted a full in-depth website audit to iron out any detrimental factors. This included areas such as HTTPS migration, site structure changes and an XML sitemap audit – to name a few.
After this, we commenced with on-site content optimisation. This included optimising existing pages and creating new pages to make the website more appealing to its relevant search terms.
